Lots of slogans, no policy. You really don't know what you're voting for.

Do you know what a libertarian is?

And that's it, is it? Something that's already de-facto legal would become legal, with states free to ignore the federal ruling? That's worth swapping in exchange for destruction of the instutitions that stop the poor from killing you?

I'm asking you what the common point of policy is between Sanders and the Libertarians.

What attracts you to both?

I'm going to let you into a secret here, but rootsoid isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

You've gone from universal, single-payer healthcare to total privatisation and deregulation. You've gone from free tertiary education to a party that wants to privatise all education. You've gone from a policy of correctly funding police and other public services to one that wants to withdraw all fu...

Not looking for any new friends I see.

I'll be honest: I'm not looking for friends like you, and I never was.

Why do you think that now - with climate change running out of control, the US' dysfunctional health system laid bare to a pandemic that's killed nearly a quarter of a million and vastly ramping inequality - is a good time to destroy America's social safety net and hand even more common good over to...

You’re a weird little man, modders.

What do you think it'll look like?

Voting for a third party won't work. It's a choice between an idiot and an idiot fascist. In US politics, a third-party vote is a wasted vote. In future, when decideing where to spread freedom and democracy, you might want to start in the city on the hill.

Where’s your evidence that libertarianism is better for the economy than a mixed economic model?

What happens when everything is a monopoly?

This seems to cement Britain’s descent into totalitarianism:

Don’t let it happen to you.

Why?

One day you will have to look into the eyes of someone who’s lost a loved one to this virus and say ‘I spread lies so I could lick fascist boot. I helped the deaths mount.”

Two possibilities for America: 1. Trump wins in November and the acceleration towards a fascist superstate continues. 2. Biden wins in November, does absolutely nothing (because he doesn't want to and because he couldn't even if he did) to arrest the four-decade-long transfer of wealth from poor to ...

The 2020 election will be held in circumstances that make it impossible to be fair. It will go ahead anyway and Trump will win.

We’re absolutely fucked. This country sold its soul a long time ago.

UK government moving towards a trade deal with the US.

We’re going to get your shit food.

I reported the post.

I don’t necessarily think he should be removed, but that sort of nasty, hateful bullshit just makes the forum a shitty place to be and to be seen in. That’s all.

I think you’re going to be disappointed if you think Joe Biden represents the death of the old order.

"How come Libertarians don't get on tax forms"!

If this was satire, you'd think it was too heavy-handed.

Well, I got another email from Jo today. She's asking for money to help get the Libertarians on the ballot in all 50 states. Says she needs a little over $200,000 by the end of June to make this happen. But alas, I have no money to give. I hope she can raise the money. Using your own logic why the ...

If only your dad had given you a bit of attention rather than lavishing it all on his sister/your mother.

He’s pretending to be thick because his callousness and inhumanity has been exposed and stupidity is the only refuge.

Fortunately, he’s exceptionally good at being thick.

Because no-one's suggested that cancer deaths are a reasonable exchange for a few stock market points.

Are you some sort of idiot, rootsoid? Can you not understand English?

100,000 dead. How many stock market points is that worth?

How do you know it'll be untested?

But fuck it. It’s a hoax and the less we test the better things appear. It is a hoax. You're being lied to. I'm pissed off because of all the lies. Mmm . . . no. You’re a stupid fuck. How do you suppose the virus made its way inside a care facility? Hint: it wasn’t because the aging, infirm residen...
